The View Page allows users at their desktops or laptops to launch client media players, which will receive
and decode the media streams for playback to the user.
Access controls on the “Passwords” page may be used to restrict viewing to selected users or groups.
For small organizations and departments this page will be sufficient for most uses. However, for larger
organizations or for universities the functions of this page should probably be duplicated on the streaming
media pages of the organization’s website. A discussion of how to achieve this is beyond the scope of this
manual.
The various links on this page are used to launch client applications on the desktop. In each case the link
causes a small control file to be downloaded, and this control file is passed to the appropriate client player.
The control file provides the client player with all the information required to find or request the media
stream(s) and to decode the information contained therein.
Four different types of files are dynamically created by the links:
File Name
File Type
rtp_fullscreen_live.qtl
Quicktime RTP Fullscreen
rtp_live.qtl
Quicktime RTP in a Window
rtp_fullscreen_live.ram
Real Player RTP Fullscreen
rtp_live.ram
Real Player RTP in a Window
